Last Week - Final Push!!!

Hello everyone, 
Thanks to everyone who has supported me on this journey for helping seriously ill children. This final week donations have been stale and so was my swimming… 

These last 7 days I will be grinding everyday to reach my goal and am confident I’ll meet my target. So I urge you to do the same and donate this week to raise as much money as we possibly can for the ultimate great deed : helping those who need it. Especially those at the start of their lives. 

Have a great day and thank you for your help.  Even if you aren’t in a position to donate at the moment, sharing our message would be greatly appreciated :)

First Milestone Reached!

We have exceeded our previous goal of £250 by a mile and are very close to hitting the second target of £500! Thanks to everybody who’s supported us and shared our message with others to raise money for such an important cause. 

The distance will be going up soon and we are on target to hitting our 80 km goal. See you all at the end of the second week and I appreciate your continued support 
:)

Week 1 Update: Pushing Through!

The first week of my swimming challenge is done! Despite feeling unwell at the start of the week, I still managed to swim around 15 km. It was tough, but every stroke reminded me why I’m doing this—to reach my goal of 80 km and, more importantly, to raise funds for kids who need our support.


I’m determined to make up for the slow start in the coming weeks, pushing myself further and swimming stronger. Every donation, every message of encouragement keeps me going. Let’s make a difference together!

I’m swimming 80km in March for GOSH Charity! 

I’m challenging myself to swim 80km this March to raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity (GOSH Charity).

Childhood is special. It should be a time of joy, wonder, curiosity and fun. Of making friends, making mistakes, and growing into the adults we become. But it’s also fragile, and sometimes all too brief.

That’s why Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity raises funds to help give seriously ill children childhoods that are fuller, funner and longer. For the children from all over the UK who are treated by Great Ormond Street Hospital every day, for children with rare or complex illnesses everywhere, for this generation and all those to come. Because no childhood should be lost to serious illness.

And with every kilometre I swim, and every pound raised, we’ll be helping to give seriously ill children the best chance and the best childhood possible.

Please help me to achieve my goal by giving whatever you can; no amount is too small to make a difference.

Here you go - that's met your fundraising goal now! Just the last bit of distance to go :) Good luck! I'm really impressed, I swam 3km one day last summer so I know how long that feels, 80km is an amazing goal... If Dad Jokes are allowed, then "swimming hats off to you"
